Chapter 459 It's too hot at home, I'm going to get some fresh air.
"this..."
Zhu Tao was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer. She had indeed gone for a job interview that morning, and then failed.
I was in a bad mood, so I bought a lot of snacks to cheer myself up. After getting home, thinking I had nothing else to do that day, I started playing on my phone and watching TV...
"I have an interview tomorrow... Don't worry, baby..."
Zhu Tao spoke softly, but her tone already betrayed a lack of confidence. She knew that her demeanor would definitely upset Liao Haomiao, who was exhausted after a long day.
He works so hard outside to earn money to support the family, while you just stay home watching TV all day. He'll definitely be unhappy to come home to this...
But she had no choice; jobs were incredibly hard to find. This was her third failed interview. So many recent graduates were competing with her, and she had no advantage whatsoever. Even with extremely low salaries, plenty of people were willing to accept her...
"Sigh...you can go out first, I'll rest for a while."
Liao Haomiao sighed, then turned his head to the other side and said softly...
"Ah... well... call me if you need anything... Are you hungry? I'll order takeout. What do you want to eat?"
Zhu Tao slowly released her grip, stood up, took a step back, and fumbled with her hands in front of her, asking cautiously.
"casual."
"okay..."
Zhu Tao left the bedroom and gently closed the door.
In the pitch-black bedroom, Liao Haomiao opened his eyes again, took out his phone from his pocket, held it in front of him, and opened...
The screen's light illuminated his bloodshot eyes. He frowned, lowered the brightness, and then opened someone's WeChat Moments...
Liao Haomiao looked at Zhou Heng's WeChat Moments, which were filled with photos of their child and Yin Mengran. They looked very happy, and they always had smiles on their faces in the photos...
He didn't know how Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran had managed to get through it; living together was completely different from dating...
Where did that feeling from when you were in love go? You felt like everything about the other person was perfect, that every smile and gesture seemed to radiate light.
We couldn't see each other often back then, and when we did meet, we cherished every moment we spent together.
I was extremely reluctant to part ways, and even had the thought that I would give up everything as long as I could be by their side...
Maintaining the relationship through mobile phones, every message carries longing, and fantasies about how wonderful it would be to live together in the future...
"When I make a lot of money, you won't need to work anymore! I'll support you!"
She even said things like these, promises made during the honeymoon phase...
Where have all those feelings gone? Where has that mindset gone? Where have those thoughts gone?
Why is there such a big difference between ideals and reality?
"Ugh..."
Liao Haomiao had lost count of how many times he had sighed. He turned off his phone, then mustered all his strength to get out of bed and walk out of the bedroom...
At that moment, Zhu Tao was ordering takeout in the living room. Hearing the bedroom door open, she immediately looked up and saw Liao Haomiao...
"Hey! Baby, have you rested enough? How about we go back to that really good rice bowl place today? Or do you want noodles? Do you want to decide what you'd like to eat?"
Zhu Tao quickly stood up from the sofa, smiled, and jogged over to show Liao Haomiao her phone...
As a result, Liao Haomiao turned around, picked up the coat from the hanger, put it on, and then went to the door, saying softly:
"I'm not hungry right now. You order what you want to eat first. I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back..."
"Ah...no, where are you going at this hour? The weather forecast says it's going to snow soon, where are you going...?"
Zhu Tao stood there, gave a wry smile, and let her hands hang down, looking somewhat worried.
Liao Haomiao looked up at her, startling Zhu Tao...
Because Liao Haomiao's complexion was very bad, his eyes were empty, as if there was no light left in them...
"It's too hot at home, I'm going to get some fresh air."
After saying that, Liao Haomiao pushed open the door and walked out...
Zhu Tao stood there, staring at the slamming door shut, feeling a tingling sensation in her head, her heart pounding faster and faster, and her body beginning to tremble slightly...
Liao Haomiao stepped out of his house and onto the outside. As soon as he did, snowflakes began to fall...
He took a few steps, then took something out of his pocket.
That was a pack of cigarettes...
He only started using it recently, and Zhu Tao doesn't know about it yet, nor does he want her to know.
He smokes one occasionally at the company to relieve his stress, but by the time he gets home, the cigarette is gone, so Zhu Tao never noticed.
"Snapped--"
He lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a drag, and slowly exhaled...
I remember when he first started inhaling it, he would choke, but now he's quite skilled...
He felt much better after taking that puff of smoke...
"Pfft-"
Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but laugh.
He remembered when he first met Zhou Heng, he had helped him and Yin Mengran get together, and he had even bought him a pack of cigarettes.
Zhou Heng said he didn't smoke, and then Zhou Heng also said he didn't smoke, so he threw away the pack of cigarettes.
Later, when they had dinner together, they mentioned that it seemed no one in their group smoked, and they agreed not to touch it in the future...
It seems he broke his promise; he couldn't resist and started smoking...
That makes sense. They don't have these worries, so why would they touch such things? Only they themselves might be prone to doing so...
Liao Haomiao sat on the steps downstairs, smoked a cigarette, and stared blankly ahead.
He remained unmoved as snowflakes fell on his head and clothes, forming a small patch of snow...
After a while, Liao Haomiao stood up, brushed the snow off his head and clothes, and muttered:
"I should go see Zhou Heng and the others when I have time... I wonder if he'll have time to have a drink with me..."
He stayed outside for more than half an hour before preparing to go home, because his hands and feet were starting to stiffen and his face was flushed...
Standing at his front door, Liao Haomiao's head began to ache at the thought of the chaotic state of his home upon entering...
Should I clean up tonight... or maybe I should just forget about it, I'm too tired, I'll do it tomorrow.
Liao Haomiao opened the door and went inside...
But as soon as I stepped inside, I was startled and froze on the spot, even wondering if I had gone to the wrong place...
The living room was now very tidy; the coffee table was free of clutter, and clothes were neatly folded on the sofa.
The kitchen was also cleaned up and tidied up.
However, he heard faint sobbing sounds coming from inside the bedroom...
